The setting sun gradually illuminates the corner of the wall.
The soft sunlight passes through the gray glass windows and projects onto the rough floor tiles, reflecting golden light and shadow.
The tavern at this time is the busiest time of the day, and it seems that time is getting impatient.
The air was filled with the aroma of wine and noise. Comrade Xu Huizhen, the boss, was leaning on the counter near the door, squinting her eyes slightly, enjoying the rare lively atmosphere.
Since Fan Jinyou was expelled and Xu Huizhen took charge of the tavern again, because the tavern's excellent service is different from that of a state-owned hotel, and because Xu Huizhen's wine-making skills have been truly passed down, the tavern's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and it has gradually become a famous one in the capital.
One of the pubs.
The street office saw that the tavern was becoming more and more prosperous. Every evening, there would be a long queue at the door. In order to better serve the people, the street office specially applied to the district to help the tavern expand its scale.
After two months of renovation, the tavern has transformed from a tavern with two fronts to a large hotel with five fronts.
The first floor of the pub is an area for individual customers, with more than fifty dining tables.
The second floor is a private room with seven or eight rooms.
Although the tavern has expanded and is similar in size to a large hotel, the name has not changed and is still called a tavern.
The tavern now has more than a dozen employees and a professional chef. As a comrade of the owner, Xu Huizhen no longer has to entertain guests personally and only needs to do management work.
Looking at the bustling guests, Xu Huizhen felt very comfortable.
Grandpa's biggest dream at that time was to turn the tavern into a big hotel.
However, due to the chaotic situation at that time and being attacked by rebel soldiers many times, even if he exhausted all his energy, the tavern could only manage to maintain it.
After liberation, the situation stabilized and the tavern regained its vitality. However, due to the arrival of Fan Jinyou, it almost closed down.
Fortunately, with Li Weidong, Xu Huizhen took back the tavern.
Thinking of Li Weidong, Xu Huizhen felt a different kind of emotion in her heart, and her face turned slightly red with embarrassment, as if she had drunk wine.
I haven’t seen Li Weidong for a while, and I don’t know what he has been busy with recently.
Also, that wild girl Chen Xueru has not been seen for a while. The silk and satin shop has been closed all day. Are you ready to accept your fate?
No, probably not.
That wild girl has a high spirit! She will never give in easily.
Thinking about these things, Xu Huizhen gently moved the abacus beads and began to calculate today's turnover.
At this moment, a careless voice came to her ears.
"Boss, do you have any wine brewed by you yourself today~"
Xu Huizhen frowned slightly, raised her head slightly, and saw a young man in a gray tunic suit leaning on the counter.
This young man has thin skin and tender flesh, thick eyebrows, big eyes, red lips and white teeth, and his facial features are very regular, but he always gives people an impression of being immoral.
Behind the young man stood a middle-aged man wearing a gray tunic suit. The middle-aged man looked a little dull and smiled at the young man from time to time.
The visitor was a guest. Although Xu Huizhen felt that the young man was a bit frivolous, she still said with a smile: "Don't worry, the wine in the tavern is all brewed by me myself."
"Oh, I have long heard that the proprietress of the tavern is not only beautiful, but also has excellent wine-making skills. I have to give it a try today."
Xu Huizhen wore a green green double-breasted gown today. The gown was a bit tight, showing off her graceful body and charming curves.
Her lips were plump, soft, and always slightly raised. Compared with ordinary little girls, she was divorced and looked more like a mature woman.
The taste made Yang Weimin's heart tremble.
When Xu Huizhen heard this, her face suddenly darkened, she raised her head and stared into Yang Weidong's eyes and said: "Comrade, please be more respectful. The tavern is a public-private joint venture. If you want to act rogue here, I can only send you to the police station."
, let the comrades at the police station help you wake up."
"Oh, it's so exciting." Yang Weimin had never been this angry at all on weekdays, and was about to roll up his sleeves and have a good fight with Xu Huizhen.
Han Laoliu next to him saw several waiters looking over here, and quickly reached out to hold Yang Weimin: "Chief Yang, this is a public place, we have to be careful, in case it spreads to the steel rolling mill, you
About my upcoming promotion to Chief of Materials Section”
It’s long gone! Yang Weimin gritted his teeth with hatred.
However, in order to get the goods, he still suppressed the anger in his heart.
How can five hundred dollars be important when arguing with a woman?
Yang Weimin took a deep breath and said, "Oh, you misunderstood. I was just praising you for making good wine."
"Really?" Xu Huizhen laughed and said softly: "What kind of wine do you two need? In addition to the self-brewed wine, we also have Laofen wine, Xifeng wine, Maotai wine and other famous wines."
"When I come here, I naturally want to try your home-brewed wine." Yang Weimin looked up at the stairs in the distance and said, "Do you have a private room above? Open one for us."
As he spoke, he looked up at the sign nailed to the wall and said: "Bring us two bottles of wine, a plate of fried mutton with green onions, a plate of spicy and sour shredded pork, a plate of cold beef, a plate of braised pork, and a plate of braised pork in soy sauce.
Ribs."
Yang Weimin's grandeur made Xu Huizhen slightly stunned.
Although the tavern is now considered a big hotel, this is the first time she has seen customers ordering four or five meat dishes at once.
Out of good intentions, Xu Huizhen kindly reminded:
"Guests, can you finish all the dishes? The higher ups are advocating thrift. Please order as you need."
Yang Weimin did not answer Xu Huizhen, but turned his head and looked at Han Laoliu.
There was a hint of teasing on his lips: "Brother Han, do you think we can finish all the dishes?"
"This is a bit too much, why don't you order a few less." Han Laoliu touched the money in his pocket, sweating on his forehead in anxiety, but when he saw the smile on Yang Weimin's face gradually disappearing, he quickly straightened his chest,
Looking at Xu Huizhen, he said: "Comrade boss, just follow this and we can finish the meal."
Although he was reluctant to give up money, when he thought that this dinner would affect whether he could become the workshop director, he was willing to spend more money.
Seeing that the guest did not listen to the advice, Xu Huizhen could only nod her head, pull the abacus pillars, and calculate the amount of money.
"The total is forty-three yuan, plus three meat coupons. The shredded pork and ribs do not require meat coupons because they use lean meat and leftovers."
"It's so expensive." Han Laoliu's eyes widened.
"This also includes the cost of private rooms. The charging standards are set by the sub-district office. If you have any objections, you can complain to the sub-district office."
"." Han Laoliu was a little helpless and turned his attention to Yang Weimin: "Brother Yang, I think drinking in the hall below is also very atmospheric. What do you think?"
"Do you really think so?" Yang Weimin sneered.
"." Han Laoliu laughed twice and shook his head quickly: "Look at me, I am really stupid. We have to discuss important matters today."
The meal cost 43 yuan. Han Laoliu's heart was bleeding.
Gritting his teeth, he took out the money from his pocket, counted it twice, and handed it to Xu Huizhen.
Xu Huizhen counted the money, locked it in the drawer, and then personally took the two of them to the second floor.
Although Xu Huizhen is a woman, she has long been in charge of the tavern and has developed a pair of piercing eyes.
She felt that Section Chief Yang was not an easy man to serve, and she was a little worried when ordinary waiters came to talk to them.
Going up to the second floor, Xu Huizhen opened a private room and invited the two of them in.
"Wait a moment, I will bring you wine and food later."
Gently closing the door, Xu Huizhen smiled bitterly and shook her head.
They are both leaders of the steel rolling mill. Why is Section Chief Yang so different from Li Weidong?
Especially that domineering look, so annoying, so annoying.
In the private room.
"Come on, Brother Yang, smoke."
Han Laoliu took out a handful of cigarettes, handed one to Yang Weimin, and then put his hands together to help him light it.
"Brother, you said today that Factory Director Yang has decided to make me the workshop director. Is this true?" Han Laoliu couldn't bear it anymore and asked with a smile.
Yang Weimin took a deep look at Han Laoliu: "Brother, I am the nephew of Factory Director Yang. We have one steel rolling mill. Who is as close to Director Yang as I am?"
"That's it, that's it." Han Laoliu blinked and said hesitantly: "It's just that none of the workshop directors in our steel rolling mill are retiring recently. Even the oldest, Lao Zhu, will retire in half a year.
Already."
Haha, this guy seems to be hard to fool!
Yang Weimin said with a cold face: "It seems that I still don't believe me."
"No, no." Han Laoliu waved his hands quickly and said, "We are brothers, can I not believe you? It's just that this matter is too big, so I have to be cautious."
Although he didn't know why Yang Weimin told him this matter, according to his understanding of Yang Weimin, he would definitely have to bleed heavily this time.
Yang Weimin rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother, have you heard of Li Weidong?"
"Li Weidong? The workshop director of the poverty alleviation workshop, a popular person in our steel rolling mill? Of course I have heard of him, what happened to him?" Han Laoliu was a little surprised, and his tone increased a lot.
The door panels of the private room are made of thin wood chips and are not soundproof in nature.
The sound inside is slightly louder and can be transmitted outside.
Outside the door, Xu Huizhen, who was holding a wine plate, heard Li Weidong's name through the door panel. She was stunned for a moment, with a trace of doubt on her face, and her little hand on the door handle loosened her grip.
Li Weidong? Could it be that they were discussing the Weidong brothers?
possible.
These two people also worked in the steel rolling mill and were colleagues with the Weidong brothers.
Because it was still early at this time, there were no other guests in the private room area on the second floor, and the corridor was silent.
Xu Huizhen gently placed the tray on the table next to her, put her ear against the door, and listened carefully.
In the private room.
When Han Laoliu heard Yang Weimin mention Li Weidong, he felt a little incredible. Who didn't know that Li Weidong was now a famous person in the factory, how could he be dismissed?
Yang Weimin chuckled: "Brother, you have been a worker all your life, and you are very good at dealing with those tough guys, but you can't be a leader."
"How do you say this?" Han Laoliu came forward and asked humbly.
Yang Weidong tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a banging sound: "Li Weidong is indeed a talent. The solar panel he built made our steel rolling mill become a famous factory in the capital. It stands to reason that such a talent should get
If you are reused, the worst result is to become a deputy factory director, right?"
Han Laoliu nodded.
"But have you ever thought about letting someone like Li Weidong who has made great contributions become the deputy director of the factory? What will Director Yang do? At that time, at the factory committee meeting, once the two people have different opinions, those deputy directors will be held accountable because of Li Weidong.
If you side with Li Weidong in terms of reputation, wouldn’t Director Yang be blind?”
"Hey, what you said seems to make sense. A leader is most afraid of the strength of his subordinates. That seems to be called "high achievements shake the master." Han Laoliu frowned and thought for a while, and finally remembered a literary idiom.
Seeing that Han Laoliu was on the road, Yang Weimin breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Especially Li Weidong is still a person who doesn't follow organizational discipline."
"Um?"
"A while ago, a lesbian came to Hong Kong City. The ministries and commissions told our steel rolling mill to treat her well, but Li Weidong actually brought that person into his own studio."
Mentioning the studio, Yang Weimin rolled his eyes and continued: "And that studio, it is obviously illegal. As a workshop director, Li Weidong should have worked hard in the workshop, but he stayed in the studio all day. This
Is that true?"
"That's right, it's really outrageous. As a workshop director, the most important responsibility is to maintain the production order in the workshop." Han Laoliu is very familiar with the job of a workshop director.
"Actually, Factory Director Yang has long been dissatisfied with Li Weidong's violation of discipline. It's just because Li Weidong has done so much that he didn't criticize him." Yang Weimin continued to lie: "Recently, the poverty alleviation workshop has been on the right track, even without Li Weidong.
It will not affect the normal production of the workshop and orders can be delivered in time."
After finishing speaking, he paused, and seeing Han Laoliu's thoughtful expression, he said word by word: "In this case, Li Weidong is useless. If we don't take him down at this time,
When will it be more?"
"That's right, this is called cooking a cunning rabbit with a dead lackey, and hiding all the good birds in the air!" After another literate sentence came out of Han Laoliu's mouth, he immediately realized something was wrong and said with a smile: "Director Yang, that's just to prepare for a rainy day.
"
"It all means the same thing anyway." Yang Weimin said nonchalantly: "So it is an ironclad fact that Li Weidong was dismissed this time. The next question is who should take his place."
"Me! Me!" Han Laoliu couldn't wait.
His impatient look fell into Yang Weimin's eyes, and Yang Weimin shouted in his heart: It's stable.
Yang Weimin nodded and said: "We are brothers, so of course I recommended you, but"
"But what?" As soon as Han Laoliu said these words, he slapped himself in the face, "Look at you, how can you be so stupid! Director Yang must be asking for money. Brother, tell me how much the director wants.
money?"
Yang Weimin waved his hand: "You guessed wrong this time. Factory Director Yang is such an upright person, how could he accept your money?"
